Committee Charge
Having met the charge of developing University Level
Competencies (ULCs) that are “clear, assessable, and attainable by
Winthrop graduates across degree programs,” UWAAC received a new charge in 2010.
The role of the University Wide Academic Assessment Committee is to ensure that the
University develops and conducts appropriate, adequate, and usable
assessments of the University Level Competencies at program, college, and
university levels and to ensure that the assessment strategies and results
are communicated appropriately in both directions (from the University level
to the college level to the program level and vice versa). The UWAAC
will not conduct assessment; instead, when the ULCs are fully operational
across all programs and assessed appropriately, the UWAAC should be able to
review assessment results and answer the following questions:
- How well are we accomplishing the ULCs across all programs of the University?
- How well are we communicating ULC assessment results among all stake holders?
- How and how well are we assessing ULCs across all programs of the University?
